Course description
Traliant’s Hazards Communication training is a 30-minute course created to support OSHA Hazard Communication requirements under 29 CFR 1910.1200. Learners are introduced to the purpose of hazard communication and how Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and chemical labels help employees recognize hazards and work safely. The course also reinforces the importance of understanding an employer’s hazard communication program, including how to access SDSs and required chemical information in the workplace.
OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) requires employers to train employees who may be exposed to hazardous chemicals in the workplace. Traliant’s Hazard Communication training helps organizations support employee safety and reinforce compliance by teaching learners how to recognize chemical hazards and use Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and labels to work safely.
